Something
by Jammie
You ever notice Obama deliberately goes out of his way to nominate the
looniest extremists possible? What other reason could this be except for the
fact he’s also a far-left extremist?
President Obama’s Energy secretary nominee regards a carbon tax as one
of the simplest ways to move the energy industry towards clean technologies
, though he notes that government would have to come up with a plan to
mitigate the burden this tax places on poor people, who would pay the most.
“Ultimately, it has to be cheaper to capture and store it than to
release it and pay a price,” MIT professor and Energy nominee Ernest Moniz
told the Switch Energy Project in an interview last year. “If we start
really squeezing down on carbon dioxide over the next few decades, well,
that could double; it could eventually triple. I think inevitably if we
squeeze down on carbon, we squeeze up on the cost, it brings along with it a
push toward efficiency; it brings along with it a push towards clean
technologies in a conventional pollution sense; it brings along with it a
push towards security. Because after all, the security issues revolve around
carbon bearing fuels.”
Only in Obamaworld can tripled energy costs be considered efficiency.
Moniz acknowledged that such a cost-raising mechanism is not very
progressive. “I think it’s very important that any funds associated with
that be recycled efficiently to productive uses and to address
distributional questions, because some — the poor — may get hit harder
than others,” he added. “So, it’s a lot of work to do there. But I think,
in the end, if you take one simple thing, that’s the direction that I
think we should go in.”
So everyone else will pay more to support the non-productive of society.
